My first impression was that this had to be photoshopped. But if that’s the case, I need to give the ‘shopper props for handling the shadows so well. They all match. And if it’s not ‘shopped, I don’t know WTF is going on here.
“This photo shouldn’t be here. This photographer, Li Wei has all sorts of cool images. This is ART not WTF.”
A WTF image is just an image that has been taken out of whatever context it had, and requires that context to be made sense of. All of these images on this blog have a story behind them, and if you knew it, you’d understand what was going on, and they wouldn’t be WTF images anymore. The same is absolutely true of this one, art or not. “Art” is just the context from which it is removed when it’s posted on this site.
well, this is WARTF.
This guy Philippe Ramette does the same kind of stuff.
there’s no photoshop, it’s just being able to stay in a really awkward position for long enough, they do use props like bars or splints though.
At first the lady looked like she had no feet, but then I noticed she had shoes on.
It sure does look photo-shopped, but the “Eet is ahrt.” still doesn’t take away the WTF-ness.
Well. He’s on top of the world, isn’t he? O.o
irk…I hate heights.

Doesn’t take away any of the WFTness.
WTF IS art!
True.
the invisible apartment
I went to that site Gary mentioned. This Li Wei guy is the very personification of WTF!
I think it’s a backdrop behind them and a trampoline beneath them. Pretty cool looking pic if you ask me.
Art can still make you go WTF?!
Right, but it’s an awe-inspiring WTF, not a WTF is wrong with these people WTF–WTF
If this is awe inspiring, check out this photo from the same guy: http://www.liweiart.com/english/works_htm/photo_htm/081-01.htm
@Gary Frenkel
Nah, as an artist myself I can say that some art can just be WTF-WTF.
that’s crazy too@Gary Frenkel
I’d like to know how this “art” was done
@hob
Check out the website. I think its done with cables and photoshop.

I just don’t understand…
WTF has a very similar characteristic to comedy. It’s like a frog, dissection is interesting, but in the process, it dies.

@Gary Frenkel
Ah, yes. I’ve seen his photos all over the place, actually.
@Gary Frenkel
according to his site, no photoshop was used
Hear hear! Much art is wtf-ish! This is great. Yes, it should be here. Keep submitting!

What makes this photograph even more bizarre is that father, mother, and child are all reciting in unison, “Yo quiero Taco Bell!”
@Anonymous, how best to say it? Hmm…your comments suck!
